LPG is an acronym that means Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is used for cooking as a fuel. This flammable gas is a blend of hydrocarbon gases. This gas is also used in some vehicles. It contains gases like propane and butane in a particular ratio.
2) How to know when my LPG cylinders require a refill?
It is recommendable to check the cylinder periodically. The weight of the cylinder will start reducing after using it for a while. After it gets empty, the gas flow will automatically stop.
